Customarily we think of reading Scripture. How can the 60% of the world who are non-readers read Scripture in their language? If the Scripture is consultant checked, and in electronic form, and has a consistent quote system; Dramatizer can help. Dramatizer can help prepare the scripts for audio dramatized Scripture with multiple voices.

Dramatizer will automatically mark who the speaker is for 95% of the parts spoken in the Bible. (My wife, Barbe, spent over a year identifying who the first level speaker is in the whole Bible—except for Psalms and Proverbs.) Then the translator (or person who knows the language) merely needs to choose amongst the possible speakers for parts that have more than one speaker per verse (or verses where new characters are introduced because of indirect to direct speech.) Dramatizer can prepare for recording the whole Bible or any portion of the Bible. Dramatizer will produce the scripts that the director, recordist, and each voice talent needs and also the master script for making an audio dramatized Bible (or Scripture portion.)

After the scripts are created, Dramatizer helps with the recording process using your recording program. Dramatizer helps organize the hundreds or thousands of wave files created. The interface can be localized. English, French, and Portuguese are currently available.

Then the audio, dramatized, multi-voice recorded Scripture can be placed onto MegaVoice, CDs, MP3 players, or played on the radio. Dramatizer is available for free.
